Small emergency relief for the Coron Island’s communities battered by Typhoon Hayan (The Philippines)

After the disastrous passage of Typhoon Hayan, in December 2013, the Foundation helped the Tagbanwa villages in Coron Island to rebuild their 50-seater boat used for tourism operations. The boat—which was the main source of community income and had been severely damaged by the typhoon– is being repaired also to double-up as operation boat to provide numerous villages with relief supplies. Community meetings are planned for late January 2014 to decide collectively how to use the boat as part of longer-term rehabilitation plans.
